Field widget

Our new license plate field type could be added to an entity type, but there would be no way users can use it. For this, we will need at least a widget. A given field type can work, however, with multiple widgets. So, let's create that default license plate widget plugin we referenced in the annotation of the field type, which belongs in the Plugin/Field/FieldWidget namespace of our module:

namespace Drupal\license_plate\Plugin\Field\FieldWidget;

use Drupal\Core\Field\FieldItemListInterface;
use Drupal\Core\Field\WidgetBase;
use Drupal\Core\Form\FormStateInterface;

/**
 * Plugin implementation of the 'default_license_plate_widget' widget.
 *
 * @FieldWidget(
 *   id = "default_license_plate_widget",
 *   label = @Translation("Default license plate widget"),
 *   field_types = {
 *     "license_plate"
 *   }
 * )
 */
class DefaultLicensePlateWidget extends WidgetBase {}

Again, we started by examining the annotation and class parents for just a bit. We will notice nothing particularly...
